Lets get ready to ruuuuuuumbleeee!In the defenses corner we have Sandra Bell!
In the prosecutions corner, we have Blunt Cut!
Like her hair, Blunt Cut keeps everything in her life tight and organized with a razor sharp edge.

She believes in following the rules, and she loves Legos!
Sandra Bell and Kate Littlejohn are going head-to-head on a very high stakes case.
Neither the documents nor what Danis done has been reported yet.
If you ask Roger Gunn, Dani is a punk who has stolen from the government.
If you ask Jill Carlan, Dani is an idealist in over her head.
Roger knows Blunt Cut wont stand for any rule-breaking and Jill knows Sandy believes in the rule-breakers.
It is an excellent matchup.
Sandra and Blunt Cuts colleagues know that, too.
But then Seth hears shes going up against Sandra and he changes his tune.
Blunt Cut does some Googling and finds out that Sandra is no joke she clerked for the Notorious RBG.
Dont think Blunt Cut is the only one checking out her opponent.
Sandra does some research and discovers Blunt Cut is a force to be reckoned with.
Dani Rios is an American hero, unfairly being put on trial.
And she certainly cant take a plea deal admitting she was wrong what message would that send?
She would rather stand up for those people than reduce prison time.
Sandra is basically like oh, brother, but like in cool, hot lawyer speak.
Finally the two dynamo lawyers meet face-to-face.
(Recap continues on next page)
Things escalate in the room.
No thank you, sir!
And she isnt asking in an ice-breaker, lets get to know each other way.
Shes asking in a do you seriously care more about rules than people sort of way.
Sandra knows her real problem is her client.
She needs to convince Dani to take a deal.
Sandra decides to appeal to the burgeoning hero in Dani.
Dani can do more good outside of these walls.
That makes sense and Dani is very on board.
Before Sandra sits down with Blunt Cut again, she has one last trick to play.
Sandra believes the government will never turn over this highly sensitive information and therefore drop the charges.
Blunt Cut is here to win, people.
She agrees to hand over evidence, but only after it goes through a redaction process.
It could take up to 18 months…and Dani will have to wait in prison that entire time.
He probably has a racquetball game to get to, or whatever judges are into.
Sandra and Blunt Cut sit down once more.
Surprisingly, Blunt Cut opens up to Sandra.
She was really hurt by Sandy questioning her choice to be a prosecutor.
She never got to go.
Because of one person deciding to do whatever he wants, 49 others had to suffer.
Injustice isnt only felt by the loudest person complaining about it, she tells Sandra.
Sandra is very moved by this whole thing and they come to an agreement.
Dani will plead guilty to theft of government property and serve three years of probation.
They both can go home feeling good about how things went down.
Maybe one day these women can be friends?
Like, a long time from now, obviously, but one day?
Allison is facing an adversary this week, too her brother.
Shes the lawyer for a teenager, Keenan, who pleads guilty to possession of a firearm.
(Recap continues on next page)
Allison needs to fight the machine.
), and her older brother is a mathematician.
Not so lucky, she and her brother dont agree on much these days.
She pays Eddie a visit and it does not go well.
She thinks hes a machine, not a human with feelings.
It takes one classic Italian from Zinos and a softer approach to win over Eddie.
Back in court, Allison does just that.
She uses the numbers from Evaluate to her advantage.
The machines will rise!
Okay, she doesnt say that last part, but doesnt it feel like it?
The classic Italian from Zinos is a miracle sandwich.
He does so by stealing a case from the hot lawyer hes hooking up with.
Of course, Mother Nature has a different plan.
The authorities wont bring the cruise ship in one way or another because of a big storm passing through.
Leonard will just have to wait and see where the ship ends up post-storm.
Its out of his control and he hates that.
Although, it isnt as out of control as he thinks.
It turns out Seth is a big ol weather nerd, or, um, an amateur meteorologist.
He nabs the case for the Southern District.
Roger is very, very impressed.
